Sorrento

Sorrento is a picturesque town situated on the Sorrentine Peninsula, offering dramatic cliffs, narrow streets, and a relaxed atmosphere. The town is famous for its lemon‑infused cuisine, including limoncello, and for the historic Basilica of San Francesco, which dates back to the 14th century. Visitors can stroll along the Lungomare, a seaside promenade with panoramic views of the bay, or take a funicular up to the hill of Monte San Michele for a bird's‑eye perspective. Sorrento also serves as a gateway to the Amalfi Coast, with frequent ferry connections to Positano, Amalfi, and Capri. The town's historic center is filled with boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants serving fresh seafood and local wines. The nearby ruins of the ancient Roman villa at Pola provide an additional cultural highlight.
